Best Things to Do in Normandy
Normandy's attractions are spread across the region, so we suggest you either spend a few days in just one or two towns or you take a couple of weeks, rent a car and see a cache. If you're a foodie, you'll enjoy the food in Trouville and Honfleur (think: beachside oysters) or Camembert and Pont-l'Évêque (think: cheese). Should you enjoy the Impressionist works of Monet, then consider touring his home in Giverny. You'll find a quaint yet impressive city of cafés, museums and cathedrals in Rouen (it's not called "the city of a thousand spires" for nothing). And then there's the D-Day Beaches and the war cemeteries in Bayeux, Caen and Colleville-sur-Mer.
